lxCimi, as a cult sovereign citizen you may also claim membership to the .. Little Shell Pembina Band ..
Law enforcement officers and public officials around the country are encountering members of a new and active anti-government extremist group that calls itself the "Little Shell Pembina Band of North America." Members of the group claim that they belong to a "sovereign" Native American tribe and therefore are not subject to laws and regulations; in reality, the "Little Shell Pembina Band" is part of the anti-government "sovereign citizen" movement. .. http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/SCM.asp?LEARN_Cat=Extremism&LEARN_SubCat=Extremism_in_America&xpicked=4&item=sov .. Its members' activities range from driving with bogus license plates to perpetrating insurance fraud schemes to tax evasion.
Quick Profile
Founder: Ronald Delorme
Based: Primarily in North Dakota and Washington, but members can be found across the nation.
Splinter Group: The group has split into two competing factions, each using the same name.
Media: Internet, videos, seminars, fax solicitations Approach: Claims to be a
sovereign Native American tribe and not subject to the laws of the United States.
Ideology: Anti-government and sovereign citizen; members may also belong
to a wide variety of sovereign citizen, militia, or white supremacist groups.
Origins
The origins of the Little Shell Band (named after a Chief Little Shell, who died in 1901) have a kernel of truth. The Little Shell Band did, in fact, once exist as a branch of the Chippewa on the northern Great Plains in the 19th century. Most were pushed westward out of Minnesota and North Dakota to Montana. Today there is a Little Shell Band of Montana, a legitimate although federally unrecognized Native American tribe. It has no connections to extremism or to the Little Shell Pembina Band of North America. (Pembina refers to the area around the Pembina River in northeastern North Dakota).
In the 20th century, a variety of Chippewa factions launched lawsuits for federal recognition and funds. In these competing suits, one group identified itself as the "Little Shell of North Dakota" but never achieved recognition.
In 2001, a North Dakota resident named Ronald Karyance Delorme, claiming to be the hereditary chief of the "Little Shell Band of Indians of North America," filed a federal lawsuit that sought recognition as well as funds from appropriations statutes pertaining to Chippewa land claims. According to the legal argument prepared by Delorme's attorney, the funds (including interest) amounted to more than a hundred million dollars.
Describing himself as the great-grandson of Auguhk Qway, one of Chief Little Shell's Grand Council members, Delorme had fought with other Chippewa groups over these claims for years (despite a 1993 Native American newspaper report that his Little Shell Band consisted primarily of his family). Ultimately, the courts saw little merit in Delorme's arguments and refused to acknowledge a connection between his group and the Chippewas who had previously fought for recognition.
At some point during these unsuccessful legal battles, Delorme transformed the Little Shell Band into a sovereign citizen group. Its ideology was not new to the region: sovereign citizens had been active in North Dakota, where Delorme and his extended family lived, dating back to the 1980s, when Posse Comitatus leader Gordon Kahl ambushed and killed two federal marshals in Medina in 1983.
By 2004 the Little Shell Band claimed to be a "completely sovereign tribe" that held "allodial title" to over 53 million acres of land (for some reason, this figure was later increased to 62 million). Saying it no longer sought federal recognition, the group declared its own executive, legislative and judicial powers, bestowing on itself the right to establish a legal bar and "tribal lawyers" as well as a "sovereign tribal financial and banking institution."

Your delusion that YOU are the law is just that.

To your disgrace your cult denies your country, not only in tax evasion, fraudulent schemes and wasted court
hours, but also in your moronic total disrespect of the law and of your countries government institutions.
Shades of treason lurk in your miserable lot. I read many of
your CULT claim membership to the Little Shell Pembina Band.
